a contrast,
from what he has know
of deception and lies

and yet he has won the battle
each time!

has he not?
pug, pug, pug
to save the day

no matter the cost.

just do it,
he did
each time

when pressure mounted
because he was adaptable,
flexible

his lies so smooth.

he could be an equal
with the dark temptress,

was not.
